From white, romantic streets of Mykonos to colourful, historically rich Barcelona my summer was in full swing. Together with three of my friends, I explored the landmarks of the capital of Catalonia. Barcelona was full of delicious food, architectural masterpieces, vibrant streets and relaxed atmosphere. Eric Vökel BCN Suites was our baseline for discovering the city and it turned out to be a great pick.

A short walk from Sagrada Familia

Born in Denmark, Eric Vökel inspired by the minimalistic Scandinavian design and architecture decided to add a Mediterranean touch to his first project, Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments in Barcelona. Shortly after followed Madrid and Amsterdam, with New York being the newest upcoming addition. One of the three places in Barcelona, Eric Vökel BCN Suites are located just a short walk from Barcelona’s biggest attraction, the magnificent Sagrada Familia and the Eixample district. Easy access to other Barcelona must sees makes the place a great starting point for discovering the city.

Scandinavian design meets Mediterranean vibe

Our one bedroom apartment with an extra double sofa bed was spacious, minimalistic and sophisticated. My favourite spot was definitely the terrace, which was a perfect place to have morning coffee, snack on croissants or have a glass of sangria in the evenings. The whole place was tastefully furnished and functionally designed to make guests feel welcome and comfortable.
